TYPES OF GRADING:

DIRECT GRADING:

INDIRECT GRADING:

INDIRECT GRADING Two types of indirect grading… Absolute Grading: Marks awarded on a 101 point scale are converted to a 5/7/9 point scale Relative grading: The scores awarded are normalized for proper distribution on the basis of pre-fixed pattern

INDIRECT GRADING: ABSOLUTE:

INDIRECT GRADING: ABSOLUTE Marks awarded are classified into different grades Lead to distortions who score close to the margins

INDIRECT GRADING: RELATIVE:

INDIRECT GRADING: RELATIVE Performance of students is compared with that of his peers Graded to ensure normal distribution in performance assessment A pre-fixed pattern may not represent the actual academic and intellectual ability

ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT GRADING:

ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT GRADING Simplifies the process of assessment Makes a raw assessment on a raw scale Uses a uniform scale for the assessment of quality Separates assessment of quality and range

MECHANICS OF DIRECT GRADING:

MECHANICS OF DIRECT GRADING Assessment of quality on a five point scale for each question Assigning weightage depending on the nature of the question Calculation of weighted average Certification on a seven point scale

PROCESS OF DIRECT GRADING (1):

PROCESS OF DIRECT GRADING (1) Each answer is graded with letters Weightage is then given based on the range of the question Grades and weightages are assigned numerical values The weighted grade points arrived by multiplying grade points by weightage

PROCESS OF DIRECT GRADING (2 ):

PROCESS OF DIRECT GRADING (2 ) Sum of weighted grade points is divided by the sum of the weightage to arrive Grade Point Average (GPA) for the course Combining grades of different courses gives Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of an entire programme
